Google gave AdWords advertisers a lot to digest last week, with a series of announcements at its annual Google Performance Summit event. The ad-related news and changes covered text ads, display, maps, mobile and beyond — and we talked about the pros and cons for advertisers and users in the latest episode of our weekly video show, Marketing Land Live.
We also covered Facebook’s ad-related changes last week, including the closure of FBX and the expansion of the Facebook Audience Network. And Twitter’s move to change how it counts the 140-character limit was also on our agenda.
Special guest Brad Geddes joined Marketing Land’s Ginny Marvin, Greg Sterling and myself for the show, which ran about 58 minutes. You can watch the replay here, and be sure to scroll below the video for this week’s Show Notes, with links to the stories we talked about.
Postscript, May 31: Since Blab has recently started requiring all viewers to be logged in, even just to watch a video replay, we’ve uploaded this week’s show to YouTube. You won’t see the live comments from viewers that were watching us on Blab when we recorded, but you’ll see the rest of the main conversation.
